Feeling stressed, tensed, restless and irritable? Take a quick, six-point body scan from head to toe. This helps in regulating the fight or flight stress response & create feelings of calm, relaxation, presence and groundedness. In this track, we will go through it together three times, starting with slow instructions and gradually moving to a super-fast version you can use anywhere, anytime. It's so easy you can even do it in public & no one will even know about it. To experience maximum benefits, consider incorporating it into your daily routine, such as during breaks at work or before sleeping. By practicing this more often in your daily life, you'll retrain your body to relax, leaving stress behind and saying hello to a calmer, more regulated you. You can replay this track as many times as you need to practice with me. Music Credit: "The Inner Calling" composed by Music Of Wisdom.

Hello beautiful being.

I appreciate you taking this break for your body to relax,

So let's get started.

This practice involves me counting from 1 to 6 and with each number I would be naming a part of your body and as I name the body part,

I invite you to bring your attention to that part and notice any areas of tension and then release the tension by loosening the muscles in that area.

We will be doing this three times.

Before we start,

I invite you to check in with your body.

If I were to ask you on a scale of 0 to 10,

10 being most tense,

Uncomfortable or distressed,

What is the rating that you would give to yourself currently?

Okay,

So let's start relaxing.

All you need to do is just follow my instructions.

1.

Notice and relax your head,

The area around your eyes,

Your jawline.

2.

Notice and relax your neck and your shoulders.

3.

Notice and relax your whole spine from top to bottom.

You can even move your body if you would like to adjust your spine.

Let go of the tension near the area around your abdomen.

4.

Relax and release any tension in your pelvic region.

5.

Notice and fully relax your legs from thighs to toes.

Now take a deep breath in.

And 6.

As you exhale,

Relax your whole body.

Very good.

So that's the practice.

Now we will practice it two more times.

So this time I will just be naming the numbers and the name of the body part.

I would not give you any kind of instruction.

All you have to do is that as you hear the name of the body part,

Just notice any areas of tension in or around it and relax the muscles in that area.

This is the habit that we have developed,

And our body has to suffer.

So the more you will take these kind of breaks,

The more you will remind your body that it's safe,

Everything is alright,

And you can relax.

And hence,

You will be changing the natural state of your body from stress to relaxed and regulated.

So I hope that you like this practice,

And you are welcome to repeat this as many times as you need.

I would be looking forward to hear about your experience in the review of this track.

Thank you for listening.
